"Marvin Scott III, who comes to Nebraska after enjoying one of the
most prolific prep careers in Florida history. Scott was a
five-year varsity starter (yes, you read that right). He first made the varsity team as an eight grader at Class 2A Warner Christian Academy.
Three years and 4,779 rushing yards later, Scott decided to transfer to Spruce Creek and compete in Florida’s largest class (8A) for his final two seasons. He would go on to rush for 1,226 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior, earning third-team all-state. Scott followed that up with 1,477 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior, on his way to being named the
offensive player of the year by the Daytona Beach News-Journal. He finished his illustrious
high school career with 7,482 rushing yards and 80 total touchdowns. According to FloridaPrepRecords.com, Scott’s rushing yardage
ranks sixth in Florida high school history.
Scott is a tremendous all-around athlete. Last February at The Opening Regional in Orlando, he was named one of the top five offensive players in attendance. At the event, t
he 5-foot-9, 200-pound Scott ran a 4.54 in the 40-yard dash, posted 4.38 seconds in the 20-yard shuttle and recorded a 36.9-inch vertical jump.
Along with being an exceptional high school running back, last spring
Scott won a state weightlifting championship in the 199-pound division by bench pressing 405 pounds and completing a clean-and-jerk of 295 pounds. His 405-pound bench was the best mark of anyone in his weight class (or below) and the eighth-best mark overall in a field of more than 300 competitors.
According to Scott, heading into his senior year, he was benching 415 pounds and his max clean was 330. He can also do
300 pushups in one setting. It’s no surprise he reportedly loved the strength and conditioning presentation Zach Duval gave during his official visit."
